Abstract
Acute hyperleukocytic leukemia (AHL) refers to acute leukemia patients whose peripheral white blood cell count(WBC) is more than 100×109/L. It is called hyperleukocytosis (HL), when peripheral WBC is more than 100×109/L. It is common in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). AHL has a rapid onset, rapid progress, high early mortality and poor prognosis, which is a critical disease in hematology department. Because of its complications such as leukostasis, tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), patients′ lives are threatened and need urgent intervention. Therefore, how to reduce the early mortality of patients with AHL is an important research topic. This article reviews the epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of AHL, especially the current treatment options.
Key words:

期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Transfusion and Hematology was founded in September 1978. It is a comprehensive academic journal in the field of transfusion and hematology, supervised by the National Health Commission and co-sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association, West China Second Hospital of Sichuan University, and the Institute of Transfusion Medicine of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. The journal is a comprehensive academic journal that combines the basic and clinical aspects of transfusion and hematology and is publicly distributed at home and abroad. The International Journal of Transfusion and Hematology mainly reports on the basic and clinical scientific research results and progress in the field of transfusion and hematology, new experiences, new methods, and new technologies in clinical diagnosis and treatment, introduces domestic and foreign research trends, conducts academic exchanges, and promotes the development of basic and clinical research in the field of transfusion and hematology.
